2019 October Monthly Contest

Alright. I'm really proud of this song.
In this submission, I decided to show the Church Organ some love. I hope it does well!

[The Institute]

first entry... wanted this a semitone lower but there's a click at the end of the C3 note on the cello, would be a cool thing to fix

[EtherBot]

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this theme, and I think this may be the entry:



I wanted to take the prompt to heart and really make something that evoked what trick or treating feels like to me. And although that made me forgo a traditional extra spooky flavor, I tried to evoke the feeling of penetrating the ocean of a nighttime neighborhood, whilst at the same time making something that felt comfortable and lighthearted. Not spooky, but it feels right to me.

I may submit another, so I'll leave my options open, but this one I'm certain of.

10/18
Second entry: The Trick Is On You.  

Ultra-low BPM to give that ethereal, long-delay echo.  Jangly, and slightly deranged.  Off-timed pad sweeps. A focus on dissonance which emphasizes the harmonious chords. Some delay timing trickery to make the beat more complicated than it really is. Lots of tension and release, but it ends right as you're almost over the bridge, and doesn't end well for you.


Some folks have expressed difficulty in getting this sequence to play, so I uploaded it here:

THIS IS PERFECT!!!!!

this is more of a sound than a song. It is still spooky though.

I haven't had any time to work on my entry this month, and this is my favorite contest. Do you think you can allow a late entry? I really would like to participate in this contest

Sorry, no. However, you do still have two more days (not including today).

DAMN

I DIDN'T GET TO FINISH. THIS WAS TO BE A MASTERPIECE!

Oh how I wish to reedeem myself for November

[Pricerocks]

For this month I'm submitting Tr8ck!!!!!!!!, a spooky little tune born from a Frankensteinian resurrection of a really old sequence of mine with a melody based off of "Spider8ite!!!!!!!!" from Homestuck. I made this one really quickly (I think I'm posting this about 6 hours after I started making it?) but I've had most of this composed in my head for a while now, just had no free time. Hope you enjoy!
